im new to the whole clutch thing, but im gunna have to learn fast seeing as how its master cylinder busted...i talked to the mechanic and he started talking about how i shouldn't get a new clutch (ACT Street) because it could mess with the compression? is that true? what are some other problems with installing a new clutch kit? thanks.

I have never heard of a clutch messing with compression

I have the CF clutch and its giving me no problems so far.

wow really? alright maybe the mech. trying to jhust make some $ out of me then?! who knows! thanks.

Yes, the clutch has NOTHING to do with the compression... You may just need a new mast. cylinder or a slave cylinder and you clutch may be fine.

^^^ What he said... Nothin to do with the clutch. Find another mech.^^^

Maybe the mechanic is referring to the fluid compression in the hydraulic clutch system. If the spring pressure of the clutch is stiffer than the stock clutch, possibly the increased hydraulic compression necessary to compress it exceeded weakened seals in the slave cylinder. It's theoretical, but a possibility.

yea he was talking about that, but then he pulled one of those "talk about random SH#@ to make me seem knowledgable" kind of deals, so i'm definitely changing mechs. thanks
